Rockler Adjustable Clamp-It® Assembly Square

Overview

There are few things more difficult than holding pieces of a project at odd angles while trying to assemble with a nail or screw. The Adjustable Clamp-It rotates from 45º to 315° and locks in place at the angles you'll need most!

I have two odd angled pieces of cabinet trim that I removed during installation of cove lighting and now I am reinstalling the trim. I am hoping that this clamp will give me the ability to align these segments.

BEST ANSWER:Yes, with these cautions.Be sure that the throat depth of the clamp is sufficient to position the adjustable assembly square to allow fastening. And be sure that the bar length of the clamp will accommodate the combined thicknesses of the assembly square and the material being fastened.

BEST ANSWER:I didn't remember that there were multiple sizes, but whichever will fit will work great. The last project I did with mine was to build an octagonal frame. It turned out great. I've used mine both inside a frame and outside a frame.

Yes. It's embossed labels allow you to identify and select any angle from 45 to 180 degrees. The rotating joint is also notched to help you predictably lock your preferred angle in 1 degree increments.

For general alignment gluing, it works OK but there are 2 obvious flaws with the design. 1. It is not a durable material. I popped one while trying to align a 45 degree angle and did not apply much pressure. From that point on it would not remain in adjustment. The edges of all the alignment groves were all but snapped off. 2. It seems the alignment &quot;groves&quot; are not necessarily accurately aligned with the edges of the clamp itself although it looks like it was formed that way. I guess with anything adjustable there's bound to be some inaccuracies.

I needed to make a thin octagonal frame wherein the angles cut by the miter saw could not be relied on for gluing alignment. This tool was PERFECT for that job. I glued four pieces together for one half and four pieces together for the other half. When I put the two halves together, the alignment EXACT.

These clamps work great when building cabinets, it's like having that extra set of hands to hold your corners together square or at an angle. Every one could find a use for this clever well built item.

Much sturdier than I expected. I have been using these to build an entertainment center than contains both 45 and 90 degree angles, and these have been extremely helpful. Works great with my pocket hole jig.

I received the adjustable clamp it, but was disappointed only in that it had been assembled improperly at the factory where it had been made. I needed to remove the stove bolt and assemble on the opposite side of the clamp it. Otherwise it would not be able to secure the clamp. A stove bolt has a smooth finish, but a square shank. This squat shank fits into the plastic piece of the clamp with a square where a hole would be.

A good product, very useful to hold boards together during gluing or screw/nail fastening. The adjustable feature has interlocking teeth, allowing adjustment at set intervals. For built my built-in bookcase below my stairs, I needed to match the exact angle of the stairs, one example of something that is not possible with this tool. If you only buy one set, but the adjustables, even though they have some limitations in adjustment.

I build top bar bee hives and it is at 60o this will work out great . No more holding by hand and screwing with one . Clamp bar is bigger then I thought but that is perfect . When I ordered I thought these might be small and weak but not the case . Great

This a versatile, sturdy clamp. It locks down in any of it's preset positions. The beams are wide, well formed and have slots for clamps to help avoid slippage (slots are narrow and require companion clamps or narrow rails like Irwin Quick-Grips).

What a cool tool. I initially bought a couple of clamps and the 90 Clamp it a few years ago, then bought more clamps and the adjustable angle Clamp it and it makes assembly much easier and far more accurate. My dry fits and assembly go together more square and the multiple angles saves a ton of time and effort on making custom clamping blocks.It seemed a bit pricey at first but the first time I used it - along with the 90 Clamp it, I was convinced I didn't pay enough.

I bought two of the Adjustable Clamp-It forms to help with a 4 sided corner cabinet I was building. Setting the angle and clamping (135 degrees) allowed me to clamp up and hold the sides while fitting internal shelves and finishing the assembly. The clamps are large & sturdy enough to hold large cabinet pieces in place and are a great match with the Clamp-It Assembly Square (90 degree corner). Definitely a shop asset!

Right after I ordered two of these things, I saw a cheap knock-off in one of the stores, that looked almost the same. I was not impressed at all - flimsy construction, and way too much play in the joint. So, I was a bit afraid that these would be of similar quality. Not at all! The product is excellent - rock-solid, very sturdy, positively locks at any angle. I checked them with a digital protractor, and they are both slightly off by 0.3 deg. For this kind of tool, I honestly think this is totally negligible. I have some home-made assembly squares made of plywood that are serving me well. But this tool is a very nice addition to the toolbox, as it is adjustable. Another well made and very useful product from Rockler, most definitely recommended! And 50% discount made it even better.

Adjustable Clamp-It is a solid tool, well designed and performs exactly as described. I bought two, since using two at a time provides a solid positioning of two boards, plywood or pine along the angle. Shop fabrication would have been simpler over the last fifty years If this had been around. Fine tool

I opened the box as soon as it arrived. Examined the Clamp-It and the clamps. Everything looked good and easy to use. But... With 20 inches of snow in the ground and temps near zero and no heat in my shop - I have not had an opportunity to use them. I know they will be a great help when I start building a Hope Chest for each of my 7 granddaughters.
